In a move designed to close ranks on emerging organized crime in the region, the world’s largest international police organization, Interpol, has signed an agreement with the Government of Barbados that allows for the opening of an Interpol liaison office there, and eventually the strengthening Caribbean police cooperation and security.
Guyana is one of a number of Caribbean countries which the new Interpol office will serve.
The establishment of an Interpol office in the region comes against the background of increasing concern over the surfeit of various types of crime, many of which have implications for the security of other countries.
